Please redeem the darkling along with darklina we craves. The darkling is a bully yes. But without him accidentally created the fold centuries ago, grisha couldve extinct already. That was the era when fear is the only option to protect grisha. At least he was willing to risk his life in order to protected other grishas. Unlike Baghra, shes the selfish one that only taught her son killing skills to protect himself rather than others. Id say theres much deeper connection and influences between the darkling and Baghras twisted minds. Just like Baghra used fears to trigger other grishas potential(Released hives to attack grisha for triggering their powers, that definitely sounds sick to me. The darkling is educated by his mom that protection = killing = creating fear. Im not saying that its all Baghras fault that the darkling is who he is now. But at some degree I believe it has certain level of impact on the darklings mental development. I genuinely hope Netflix could explore much more depth of the darkling and baghras relationship and stories. The darkling has been gradually forged into an evil guy by such discriminated culture for hundreds of years. I believe no one is born to be evil. Everyone makes mistakes let alone an immortal guy whos been hunted and being alone for eternal while grishas around him were slaughtered. And I also believed that he genuinely cares for Alina because hes been alone for so long, outlived everyone else and finally theres someone whos equal and could spent eternality with. Hes incredibly protective when it comes to Alina. Because shes precious to him. The one and only equal. The one that summons sunlight could save him from his own darkness. I wish Alina could be more understanding to the motives behind his actions. I believe shes the savior to all, especially to him. So please give him redemption, not death like Leigh did in the books.

I think the actors were sincere (BinBons) in wanting to show a humane side to Kirigan. He was a young man who was betrayed and treated like a monster just because he was born the way he was, plus his mother didn't help matters. But I can't help but think the real reason the writers made the General visibly sympathetic enough was because most, if not all, YA novel adapted shows are mostly carried by shippers, and you can't have an openly abusive 'pretty' villain then the guilty pleasure is too wrong lol They all start with good storylines but people soon lose interest in the coming seasons unless you have a 'goody-shoes female protagonist, attracted to a devilishly handsome villain, while still having her handsome, flawed prince on the side two. My childhood is filled with memories of dreaming to 'cure' or 'heal' the bad boy with the power of my love fantasies. Until I realised the side characters had a better chance of that since they are the real force of power behind every protagonist in these stories i. e Bonnie with Damon was far more interesting than Elena/Katherine. Darkalina is toxic but they are the ship that is going to carry the show through the fold, against the Malalina tide.

So I'm seeing a lot in the comments about people wanting Darklina because the TV show humanized Kirigan far more than the books. I had also been seeing people in other Shadow and Bone videos commenting at how the Darkling is so evil and Alina really should stay away from him. As a person who hasn't read the books I was confused because the Darkling really didn't come across as that evil to me until the last episode. I honestly wasn't sure if he was really the villain until the last episode. I honestly was very sympathetic to what he was feeling and what he was trying to do. So thank you comment section for teaching me that he was far more evil in the books and it makes a lot of things make sense now.

I can see why people dont ship darklina, its toxic and Ive heard in the books hes awful. But in the show he seems far more human and redeemable. maybe in season 2 well see that? And after all this is fantasy, it isnt real. So even though Kirigan is rather manipulative and toxic it doesnt matter, I just like Alina and his chemistry and the Darklings character all together. Malina is cute and they really care for each other, but I see it more as a sibling relationship, not a romantic one. I also ship darklina cause Im a sucker for enemies to lovers trope kinda thing and the villain redeeming themselves.

I felt like the Darking was humanised later in the book series. In the first one it does seem like he's mostly playing with and using Alina but as the story goes on you get to see him as lonely and isolated, and doing what he thinks is the right thing. It just comes more slowly. Loved Alina having more agency in the show though, burning the maps to get on the skiff and deliberately going off from Baghra's instructions. In the first book everything seemsto be happening to her and around her, she doesn't start impacting the story with her choices until book 2.

Honestly, I love that Ben and the producers added the are you sure. that just made the audience feel that much more for the darklina ship, and it added a great amount of empathy that he felt for her - it made him seem like an even greater option and added to how hurt alina and the audience was after finding out he was actually manipulating her. it also highlighted the way that, in the show, kirigan/aleksander actually developed feelings for alina. personally, i loved that choice, even though it wasn't true to the book.

The more I'm trying to hate Darkling coz he's the evil guy, the more Ben Barns is making it impossible. Not only that he's an amazing actor and astonishingly handsome, he has thousand times better chemistry with Alina (than Mal, and now he is so considerate of young audience and the importance of consent that he actually voiced for the 'are you sure? ' question. This man is too precious for the world.

I think to me this proves Netflix did an amazing job. I was looking for a show to binge and immediately got sucked in. The writing and the production value alone made me not realize it came from a YA series (which I tend to shy away from since they're not my cup of tea) so seeing the difference between the books and the show gives me hope for Darklina. (I'm going down with that ship y'all)

Im actually hoping for a redemption arc for the Darkling and Alina being the catalyst. I dont care how long it takes but I would love to see that even though if one of them has to die for the other to turn. Ill accept a bittersweet ending but I think they both deserve each other. This is gonna be one tough decisiom because I know in the books they didnt end up together.

Alina being incredibly selfish seems on par w/ her character. Just remember how she got ALL the cartographers KILLED by intentionally burning down the maps. She knew crossing the Fold had a high chance of death, but all she cared about was her being next to Mal
So, her abandoning the entire boat to their demise to run away with Mal is pretty on character for her
